What really makes scientific institutions such as universities and non-university research institutions family-friendly? What is the best way to reconcile studying or working as a scientist on campus with starting a family or taking on family responsibilities? And how can the scientific institutions dealing with this topic best learn from each other? CEWS structured a range of information on the topic of family-friendliness in academia for you – stakeholders from universities, non-university research institutions and science policy as well as scientists, students and interested parties.
This page is based on the former portal familienfreundliche-wissenschaft.org, which was shut down at the end of December 2018. The portal was developed in the projects “Effektiv!“ and “Connect”, which were funded by Germany’s Federal Ministry of Education and Research and led by CEWS.
Some linked pages and databases are only available in German. We suggest using browsers such as Chrome, which lets you change the language and translates webpages for you. That way, you can still make use of the German content of our databases on family service centers, equality law etc.
